Passenger List Lady Joceyln *COMPLETED*

[Mackiwi]

Can't find a passenger list, but the Lady Jocelyn arrived in Lyttelton on 21st January 1875. Also found her arriving in 1873 although Mary Waite not on that one, there is a photo. See N Z Yesteryears

Christchurch Archives New Zealand has shipping passenger lists but am not able to get there myself to check at the moment.

There are also the Church index cards at Christchurch Library where the marriage may have been transcribed so that will have date of marriage and witness to the marriage.

Might be able to check that out at the library when I have some spare time

I'm trying to solve a little family twist that's come up and am trying to find the passenger list for the lady Jocelyn sailed 1874 from London arriving NZ January 1875.

In particular I am trying to locate the arrival of a Mary Waite (possibly with children Frederick and George). I know she was in England 1771 and married Christchurch NZ September 1875 and as another family member (King or Anthony Page) came out on the lady Jocelyn i wonder if he accompanied her

Any suggestions where i should start as I can't see to find a list for this voyage

Cheers
Anna

Was Mary already married in the UK before she came out to NZ.
What was the surname of her children?

Do you have any other info already on this family

I see there is a probate at Welling Archives for a Mary BOTT in 1918

I know John Bott married widow Mary Waite in Christchurch in 1875. A relative showed me their sons (Horace) marriage cert which lists her as Mary Waite nee Page. This son married a Polly Bonnett daughter of Maria Page and Harry Bonnet with Maria being in the page family i am researching.

While researching the census for Marias parents I found her sister listed as Mary Waite with 2 children in 1771 living with her parents. I am trying to see if this is indeed the same Mary Waite or just coincidence. Several of Maria's siblings came to NZ including King Page on the lady Jocelyn (who was incidentally witness to the marriage of John and Mary and also sponsor of their son Horace at baptism).

The relative who did the research in NZ of these Pages didn't see the link as they hadn't looked at the 1871 census in England

Just coincidences or the same family? If Mary and Maria are sisters it appears that Horace son of Mary married his cousin Polly daughter of Maria

Hi There

Horace was born 1876. Surname is spelt as BOLT not BOTT for some reason. Horace married 1914 to Polly Elizabeth BONNETT
This is on the NZSG marriage cd

1876/1580  BOLT Horace mother Mary father John

Marriage:
1914/5115 Polly Elizabeth  BONNETT to Horace BOTT

These are both from the link I gave in reply 4

Both John and Mary BOTT are buried at Addington Cemetery here in Christchurch

Horace died 1963 aged 87
Polly died 1945 aged 64


Have yet to find where they are buried

Definitely matches the info I have been passed on. I'm trying to confirm everything as other information has lots of errors in it.

This Mary Waite nee Page listed in census in England in 1871 also had a son Frederick Waite b approx 1866 and a George Waite b 1871

If she is the same one in the news report (1877)being beaten it sounds like 1 of these children may have come to NZ with her as 2 are listed and by date I think only Horace would have been born as the other child i have listed for her was a Central? Bott born 1878

[newbe_nz]

Can't seer a birth for Central on our BDM website under BOTT or BOLT but have found a marriage for a Central BOLT to a Mary Jane ASHTON in 1906

Reg No: 1906/3222

There are also two children to this couple under the surname BOTT

Jack Sidney Valentine BOTT reg no: 1907/13226
Beatrice Ruby BOTT reg no. 1909/21188

Hope this helps
